The city Corporation has collected 95 truckloads of bricks that were used to make makeshift hearths for the Attukal Pongala.
Steps are under way to collect the bricks left behind by devotees after offering Pongala and distribute them, Mayor Arya Rajendran said in a statement here on Thursday.
The bricks will be distributed for free to those included in the various housing projects of the government. Project guidelines will be examined and bricks distributed on priority basis to those more deserving.
Beneficiaries of housing projects in need of bricks have been asked to submit applications to the Mayor’s office. The last date is March 13 (by 5 p.m.).
Those in the extreme poverty category, Asraya beneficaries, widows/physically challenged, those with serious illness, and those bedridden will get priority.
Till date, 25 applications have been received.
